UNIT 7: MITOSIS STUDY GUIDE:

Question

1. WHAT MKES HAPLOID AND DIPLOID CELLS UNIQUE FROM ONE ANOTHER? IN 1 SHORT SENTENCE.
2. DURING MITOSIS IN EUKARYOTIC CELLS, WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PARENT CELL? IN 1 SHORT SENTENCE.
3. WHAT IS THE RESULT OF MITOSIS? IN 1 SHORT SENTENCE.
4. WHAT GENERAL TYPE OF CELL DO FIBROBLASTS MAKE? IN 1 SHORT SENTENCE.

Answer 1

1. Haploid cells contain one set of chromosomes (n), while diploid cells contain two sets of chromosomes (2n).
2. During mitosis in eukaryotic cells, the parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
3. The result of mitosis is two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
4. Fibroblasts make connective tissue cells.
